From Washington Post article on doxy pep.
For the past decade, people have been able to have unprotected sex with a low risk of contracting HIV thanks to daily pills known as PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis. But they were still susceptible to bacterial bugs, including the recent spike in syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia — until now.
Recent studies show the antibiotic doxycycline taken after sexual encounters works as a post-exposure prophylaxis to prevent those infections. But experts are also worried about unintended consequences. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention plans to release guidelines later this summer for deploying the treatment, known as DoxyPEP, in hopes of addressing fears among medical professionals that preventive use would fuel antibiotic resistance — and the rise of drug-resistant superbugs.
“It’s the first major intervention we’ve had for STIs since the vaccine for human papillomavirus,” nearly two decades ago, said Jonathan Mermin, who leads STI prevention for the CDC. “But it is a new intervention, and because of that, there are potential benefits and potential risks.”
Doctors, public health officials and sexual health clinics have embraced preventive pills as a realistic way to curb STIs because they preserve pleasure while protecting partners. Some doctors have started prescribing it to a narrow segment of the gay community considered at elevated risk for STIs.

Taking risks with our own lives is foolhardy; taking them with someone else's life is wrong.

oh dear...this discussion can be taken down a rabbit hole with its many twists and tirns and definitions..
There's some level of risk involved in every aspect of our lives - that's just the way the world turns, but I guess what most people do is try to minimize risk as much as possible and hope for the best. I know that's what I do.
The only way I know of to eliminate any/all risk associated with driving a motorbike in Thailand would be to not drive a motorbike at all. Unfortunately that's not an acceptable alternative for me so I'm willing to accept a certain amount of risk just for the joy and convenience that driving a motorbike provides me. I mitigate the risk by driving slow and cautiously at all times...never drive in the evening hours when the highest percentage of accidents happen...never drink and drive...and avoid driving during peak holiday periods, but even then there is still some level of risk which I'm simply willing to accept.
Back in my Butterfly Days I always applied the same mitigation" logic with sex:
If I was offing #22 from a local gogo bar I would usually be inclined to use a condom (regardless if I was barebacking or barebottoming). If I was tossing in the hay with a boy who worked as a cashier at Royal Garden I probably wouldn't even think about wearing a condom as long as he was comfortable and the risk we were both taking was mutually acceptable. I'm not saying that what I was doing was right. I'm just telling you what I did.
I'm in a monogamous relationship now so I don't have to worry about this crap. I guess you could say I'm operating with "zero risk". Now all I have to do to wait until I die.
